3rd trimester and depressed? Or feeling off?

Hello lovely ladies,
I was wondeing if anyone is feeling..weird emotionally? I thought perhaps it was because my best friend (visiting from out of the country) left after visiting for a couple weeks, but I can't seem to get to my old self again. I feel a bit down and just want to stay in bed all day. Don't feel like interacting with people, I'm irritable, feel overwhelmed, and unmotivated. It's been almost three weeks of this and am not sure if it's the hormones or fatigue. Just feels like my brain checked out or something. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

I am sorry!! But yes, I can totally relate. I have issues with anxiety to begin with so nighttime for some reason is panic mode for me. And so no sleep. I wake in the morning for work depressed it is time to get up.

Work has become slow torture.

I would sleep all day if I could and I am not motivated to do anything. I felt the same with my son, so I just attribute it to hormones. I was fine after he was out and I was home- so hoping for better moods soon for you!!

Your growing child

Your 2-week-old

Your baby probably loves to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged, and carried. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice or sees your face, and he'll be eager to find you in a crowd.

Your 4-week-old

Your baby may gurgle, coo, grunt, and hum to express his feelings. A few babies also begin squealing and laughing. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to your baby face to face. He'll enjoy holding your gaze now.
